The Story of Holiday Rejects

Canada’s Ugly Christmas Sweater Store

Holiday Rejects began when 3 University of Calgary students attended an ugly Christmas sweater party in 2011. Upon arriving at the party they found that the Christmas sweater attire of the guests was underwhelming. Everyone at the party expressed difficulty in finding a really good Christmas sweater to wear.

This was when the 3 university students took it upon themselves to save Christmas sweater parties everywhere – the following Christmas season Holiday Rejects – Calgary’s ugly Christmas sweater store was born.

After a modestly successful first Christmas season Holiday Rejects had the opportunity to be on Canadian TV show – Dragon’s Den. Although they were met with a fair amount of ‘grinchiness’ upon arrival to the show, the trio was able to instill the Christmas spirit into three dragons – David Chilton, Jim Treliving & Kevin O’Leary who helped grow the Christmas Sweater Store across Canada.

Holiday Rejects now runs a yearly retail store in Calgary and ships ugly Christmas Sweaters online across Canada. Our Christmas sweaters come far and wide from multiple suppliers to bring you, the customer, the best selection of ugly Christmas sweaters possible.
